Rogaine vs. Propecia to Treat Baldness

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center offers a range of surgical as well as non-invasive treatments to address different conditions of hair thinning, shortening of hair, and male and female pattern baldness. Each patient’s condition is unique, and may require a customized treatment to meet their specific aesthetic needs.
Propecia and Rogaine are two major, clinically proven topical treatments to treat hair loss in men in varying degrees. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond and surrounding communities.

Propecia

Propecia treatment is based on a medication called Finasteride. This treatment has been approved by the FDA to treat male pattern baldness. It is the first drug in history to address the condition of male pattern baldness effectively in a majority of men. The treatment is designed to inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into a more androgen called DHT.
When taken regularly, a one mg dose of Propecia can effectively reduce DHT levels in the scalp of men. DHT is known to cause miniaturization or shrinkage in the hair follicle. Therefore, when DHT levels are reduced with Propecia, it can stop the progression of hair loss in men. Propecia is considered to be a medically proven solution to arrest the process of hair loss by about 60 percent reduction in DHT levels.
Finasteride is recommended by the American Hair Loss Association as a first line of combat against male pattern baldness. Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center provides this proven and effective non-invasive treatment for hair loss to men in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby locations.

Rogaine

Rogaine or Minoxidil was the earliest drug that received the FDA’s approval for treatment of male pattern baldness. Researchers discovered that a regular intake of this drug in pill form resulted in growth of hair in various parts of the body as an unintended side effect. This is when trials were conducted to determine how far minoxidil could topically lead to increase growth of hair on balding areas in the scalp of men.
Minoxidil or Rogaine has been clinically proven to slow the pace of progression of hair loss, and even trigger partial hair regrowth. However, some experts view it as a relatively less effective treatment option in the battle against male pattern baldness. The challenge is that Minoxidil does not impact the hormonal process of hair loss, which can yield temporary or disappointing results in some cases.
However, Rogaine is still recommended by the American Hair Loss Association as the drug of choice for patients who may not respond favorably to Propecia treatment. In some cases, the hair treatment expert may suggest adding Rogaine as an additional treatment to an existing regimen.
The American Hair Loss Association has not recommended Rogaine as the first line of combat for men who experience male pattern baldness. However, its usage is recommended on a case to case basis as an effective treatment for certain types of patients.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is one of the latest and highly promising treatments for hair restoration. The treatment is non-surgical and promotes hair re-growth in a natural and sustainable manner.

What is PRP therapy?

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is a revolutionary treatment designed to address hair loss in men and women without invasive surgery. The treatment is based on the principles of advanced cell therapy, cell multiplication, and growth factors.
As the name suggests, the therapy involves exposing the targeted areas of the scalp to platelet-rich plasma, which can stimulate natural growth of hair. The treatment may be performed as a stand-alone procedure or as a part of hair transplant surgery to achieve more effective hair re-growth results.

What are the Benefits of PRP?

PRP therapy can benefit in multiple ways. When the patient is receiving a hair transplant treatment, the separated PRP is injected into the donor area to support healing and minimize scarring. Each individual graft is treated with PRP before its transplantation to promote more significant hair re-growth.
PRP is also injected directly into the recipient areas of the scalp where the grafts are placed. This speeds up healing and supports re-growth of grafts. The treatment also supports re-growth in the crown area where the tendency of re-growth is typically lower.

How many treatments are needed?

In many cases, a single PRP treatment may be sufficient to achieve the desired goals. The complete process may take about 90 minutes in a single treatment session. Drawing and processing of the patient’s blood for the injectable treatment will take the bulk of time.
Reviews will be conducted typically at the end of the second and sixth weeks to assess the healing and monitor early results. Multiple treatments may be recommended for patients, depending on the requirements of a particular case.

How much downtime is involved?

When PRP therapy is performed as a stand-alone procedure, it may involve a minimal downtime of one to two days because of the non-surgical treatment. However, in case it is combined with hair transplant surgery, no extra downtime is involved, and it will be a part of the regular transplantation process.

Will the procedure hurt?

PRP therapy is an injection-based procedure, which will not involve any significant pain or discomfort when it is performed individually. Pain medication or topical numbing agents may be used to keep the patient comfortable during the treatment.

What kind of results can be expected?

The PRP treatment experts will customize the treatment according to the hair loss pattern and severity of hair loss. Patients with progressive hair loss can expect positive results. Those who are receiving hair transplant surgery can achieve more sustainable hair re-growth. Hair loss will slow down or even stoppage of hair loss in progressive cases may occur with PRP.

How is PRP therapy procedure performed?

The PRP therapy involves the use of patient’s own blood. The blood is collected through injections and passed through a centrifugal process. This enables the separation of platelet rich plasma from the blood, which contains natural hair growth factors. This component is employed actively in the targeted areas of the scalp as a stand-alone procedure or in combination with hair transplant surgery.

Microneedling is an innovative non-surgical solution to restore firmer, smoother, and more youthful looking skin. Microneedling uses state of the art micro-needling technology that is designed to achieve safe and predictable anti-aging results.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an advanced collagen induction treatment that stimulates the skin in a minimally invasive manner through controlled wounding process. The process triggers the release of natural growth factors, including production of fresh collagen and elastin to tighten the skin from within. The procedure is safer and causes much less damage to the epidermis in comparison to other techniques such as lasers or derma rolling and other ablative therapies.

How many Microneedling treatments are required?

The treatment provider will usually recommend a series of three microneedling collagen induction treatments, spaced one month apart from each other. A few patients with deeper wrinkles or severe sun damage may require more treatment sessions.

How much downtime is involved?

Microneedling barely involves any downtime, and most patients will recover by the next day. Some redness in the treated areas could persist the next day, but overall the patient will be fine.

Is the microneedling procedure painful?

The treatment provider will apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment. Most patients report almost no pain or discomfort following microneedling treatment with a topical numbing agent.

Who is a remarkable candidate?

microneedling collagen induction treatment can be suitable for people with any skin type, and it can address a wide range of aesthetic skin concerns. The treatment may be suitable for almost every area of the body.

When do the results become visible?

Results can be noticed after the first microneedling treatment in most cases. Individual response will vary, but it is common for positive results to start appearing as early as one to two weeks following the first treatment session.

How long do the results last?

The results with microneedling collagen induction therapy can last for as long as one year after just one treatment. However, multiple treatments are usually required to achieve optimal results. The treatment provider may also recommend a home skin care regiment along with this treatment for more sustainable outcomes.

How will the treatment impact immediate appearance?

While the microneedling involves almost no downtime, the skin will appear moderately pink or red in many cases immediately after the treatment. The treatment expert may recommend skin care products to minimize these symptoms and improve overall results.

Is it advisable to use make-up following Microneedling treatment?

Immediately after the treatment, it is advisable to use only mineral based foundation to prevent the formation of bacterial growth. About four to five days after the treatment, the patient may return to regular foundation use.

How is the Microneedling procedure performed?

Microneedling procedure involves automated micro-needling. Tiny needles are applied to generate controlled micro-wounds in the skin in order to promote fresh production of collagen and elastin. The procedure also creates superficial micro-channels for better absorption of topical serums and creams, resulting in more effective outcomes.

Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center provides innovative hair loss treatments, including hair transplant and non-invasive solutions. Traditionally, hair transplant surgery and certain topical treatments have been used to address the conditions of hair loss. However, MBody now offers a new, cutting edge non-surgical treatment for hair regrowth.

PRP Therapy

Patients suffering from shortening or thinning of hair and pattern baldness now have a non-surgical treatment option in the form of platelet rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP therapy is an almost non-invasive technique for hair regeneration. It involves a process to stimulate the damaged or dormant hair follicles in order to pave way for natural hair regrowth. Unlike surgical hair transplants, PRP therapy does not involve relocation of hair follicles on the scalp.
The goal of PRP therapy is to rejuvenate the follicles that are already in place. The procedure may be performed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other procedures such as FUE surgery. In both cases, this innovative treatment can produce very encouraging outcomes. Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center offers PRP therapy to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond and nearby areas.

What is PRP?

On average, the blood plasma in the human body contains about 10 percent of platelet cells. PRP therapy involves a process of structurally modifying the patient’s own blood in a controlled manner to enhance the concentration of platelets in the plasma. This modified plasma contains almost 90 percent platelets, and is therefore called “platelet rich” plasma (PRP).
This PRP is prepared for injecting into the affected areas of the scalp. Its natural wound healing properties support the regeneration of damaged hair follicles and improve the appearance of thinning hair.

How does PRP Therapy Work?

Studies have shown that hair follicles that have been identified as “non productive” due to injury, dormancy or another cause, can still remain alive for about five to eight years. PRP therapy can be applied to trigger or stimulate activity in these weakened follicles or newly implanted hair follicles to cause them to return to their active growth phase.
While research is still continuing in the area of PRP hair regeneration therapy, early results have shown that leveraging the natural power of platelet growth factors and utilizing their wound healing properties can help restore many hair follicles back to full or near-full productivity. Patients can experience reversal of the effects of thinning or receding hair and gradually achieve fuller and thicker hair.

Results

With PRP therapy, the patient can experience visible improvement in hair growth. Hair thickness will be apparent in about two to six months. PRP injectable treatment sessions may be scheduled every three to nine months in order to maintain optimal stimulation and growth of hair follicles.

According to recent estimates, over 50 million men and 30 million women in the US are affected by the condition of hair loss. A number of surgical as well as non-surgical treatments have emerged over the years to address the problems of hair loss and hair thinning. One of the latest cutting edge treatments that has attracted widespread attention of researchers and scientists focusing on hair regrowth solutions is micro needling therapy.
Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center, led by Dr. Burton Sundin and Dr. Reps Sundin, provides state of the art non-invasive solutions for hair loss and other aesthetic conditions. M-Body receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and surrounding communities.

Encouraging Results

Recent scientific studies to evaluate potential solutions for hair loss have focused on the innovative micro needling therapy for the scalp using unique derma roller devices. Results with this non-invasive therapy to fight back hair loss and hair thinning, and promoting the growth of new hair on the scalp have been very encouraging. Some of the clinical studies have also shown that a combination of micro needling therapy and minoxidil treatment on the scalp may produce highly effective outcomes.
Microneedling therapy essentially involves gentle pricking into the layers of the skin of the scalp. This process is designed to open the pores for optimal absorption of treatments such as minoxidil or others. Sustained application of this treatment combination has revealed outstanding results in the scalp health and hair regrowth. Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center provides this treatment to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas.

How does Microneedling Work?

Natural hair growth is dependent on the genetic make-up of an individual to support the development of new hair cells. This cellular regeneration occurs within the hair follicles, which are the tiny openings that cover the scalp. A combination of chemicals is required to trigger the production of these cells, including a very important factor called the human growth factor.
Microneedling therapy is designed to trigger the targeted production of this human growth factor. When the micro needles are pricked into the scalp, it causes superficial and minor wounds to the tissue surface. This prompts the body to set the mechanism in motion for skin regeneration in the area of the wound. Human growth hormone and related growth chemicals are released in this process.
Scientists are using this principle to cause the stimulation of the growth of hair in the affected area of the scalp. Micro needling has already been extensively used in the area of skin care and aesthetic enhancement of the skin. Now researchers are increasingly supporting the use of the same treatment principle for hair regrowth.

Minoxidil

Experts recommend the use of proven hair loss interventions such as minoxidil in combination with micro needling therapy. Minoxidil is the leading physician-recommended topical treatment for hair loss and has been approved by the FDA.

Hair Life Cycle

The head of an average adult contains about 100,000 to 150,000 hairs. Hair loss is a natural phenomenon, and a person loses up to 100 hairs per day. At any given point of time, about 90 percent of the hair on the scalp is growing. Each hair follicle has its own lifecycle that is impacted due to heredity, disease, aging, and other factors. The three main phases of this lifecycle are as follows:

Anagen: This is the active stage of hair growth that may last for around two to six years.

Catagen: This is the transitional stage of hair growth that may last for about two to three weeks.

Telogen: This is the resting stage that will last for about two to three months.

Once the Telogen phase ends, the hair is shed and becomes replaced by a new hair, and the growth cycle restarts. Aging, genetics, and other factors may cause the slowdown in the rate of hair growth. Modern Body Contouring & Laser Center provides advanced hair transplant as well as non-invasive solutions for hair loss to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, and nearby areas.

Types of Hair Loss

Hair loss can be broadly classified into the following types:

Involutional Alopecia: This is a natural condition where hair thinning occurs with age. Hair follicles increasingly go into the resting stage, and the number of remaining hairs continues to reduce.
Androgenic Alopecia: This genetic condition may affect both men and women, and is also known as male and female pattern baldness. Men experience a receding hairline and gradual loss of hair from the frontal scalp and crown. Women experience a general thinning of hair across the scalp.
Alopecia Areata: This condition usually causes patchy loss of hair in children and young adults. In some cases, the condition may result in total baldness.
Alopecia Universalis: This condition may cause loss of all hair, including body hair.
Telogen Effluvium: Changes in the hair growth cycle may cause temporary hair thinning and this temporary hair thinning over the scalp occurs because of changes in the growth cycle of hair. A large number of hairs enter the resting phase at the same time, causing hair shedding and subsequent thinning.

Hair Loss Causes

Causes of hair loss may vary from one individual to another. Some of the common factors that may trigger hair loss in men and women include hormonal imbalances, genetic profile, stress, illness, childbirth, certain medications, autoimmune disease, unbalanced diet, and burns or injuries.

PRP Treatment for Hair Restoration Northern Virginia | Washington DC

PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is a revolutionary treatment for hair loss. The team of hair restoration experts at MBody constantly strives to adopt innovative and cutting edge technologies to deliver outstanding results to their patients. PRP is one of the latest and advanced solutions, which is safe as well as proving to be highly effective for many patients.

What is PRP?

In recent years, cell therapy in the form of Platelet Rich Plasma, cell multiplication, growth factors have been the major areas of research and innovation in several streams of medicine. Hair transplantation is one of the key areas where researchers have noticed highly encouraging and promising results with the application of cell therapy.
In platelet rich plasma therapy, the hair restoration expert will use the patient’s own blood. The blood is collected and sent through a centrifugal process that is designed to separate out PRP, which contains natural hair growth factors. This component is employed actively in the treatment of hair loss. PRP therapy may be used as a stand-alone procedure as well as in conjunction with hair transplant surgery.

Benefits with Hair Transplant

PRP therapy can provide benefit in at least four different ways when a patient is undergoing a hair transplant procedure.

The separated PRP is injected into the FUE or FUG/strip donor area to support the healing process and minimize scarring.
Each individual graft is dipped into PRP before it is transplanted into the targeted area. This ensures more effective hair re-growth.
It is injected directly into the scalp’s recipient areas where the grafts are placed. This helps to increase the speed of healing and improves the regrowth of grafts, especially in scalp areas that have scarring from a previous implant or another injury. Another key benefit is regrowth in the crown region where the hairs typically have a lower tendency of regrowth.
PRP is employed to treat loss of hair in other areas of the scalp that are not a part of the transplant surgery. This is similar to a situation where PRP is used as a stand-alone therapy.

Duration of Treatment

The complete process of PRP therapy may take about 90 minutes. The bulk of the time is involved in drawing and processing the patient’s blood for the injection treatment. Thereafter, the hair expert will usually review the patient at the end of second week and sixth week to assess the healing and evaluate early results.

Results with PRP

PRP is rich in growth factors and platelets, which are considered to be among the most powerful mediators of healing in the human body. Hair experts will customize the application of PRP to the scalp according to the hair loss pattern and other factors that are unique to a patient. Positive results can be seen in patients with progressive hair loss.
Those who are undergoing transplant procedures can achieve more sustainable results. Most patients will show a positive response in terms of slowing down or even stoppage of the progressive hair loss. Research in the area of PRP for hair regrowth is still continuing as more and more patients report their personal experience with PRP hair regeneration.

UltraShape

Excess fat accumulation is a common aesthetic problem today for both women and men. Modern Body Contouring and Laser Center is equipped to provide some of the latest and most effective non-invasive solutions to reduce unwanted fats. One of the cutting edge procedures available at the medical clinic is UltraShape. This FDA cleared fat reduction procedure makes use of ultrasound technology to deliver targeted heat energy to localized fat deposits in areas such as abdomen, flanks, hips, and thighs.
UltraShape treatment destroys the unwanted fat cells through an entirely non-surgical procedure. MBody med spa may recommend this procedure for patients who are bothered by stubborn fat pockets, but do not want to undergo a plastic surgery procedure. Patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond and surrounding communities have an opportunity to receive this treatment at MBody.

How does UltraShape Work?

UltraShape is an innovative procedure requiring just three treatment sessions of one hour each to provide marked fat reduction in the abdomen, flanks, hips, and thighs. The non-invasive system is designed to focus ultrasound energy on the targeted localized areas of the body.
The energy penetrates into the deeper layers to disrupt the stubborn fat cells. The body will process these disintegrated cells, which will gradually get removed from the body in a natural way. Results with UltraShape are more natural looking and long lasting. The procedure is entirely painless, and involves no downtime.
UltraShape holds the unique distinction of being the first and only FDA cleared non-surgical body shaping system that employs pulsed, focused ultrasound to mechanically and selectively disintegrate fat cells at a targeted focal point in the subcutaneous fat tissue. The procedure causes no damage to the healthy surrounding skin, blood vessels, connective tissue or nerves. Measurable results will appear in a natural way in about two weeks.

Botox Medical Clinic

Modern Body Contouring and Laser Center provides a wide range of non-invasive aesthetic solutions, including Botox injectable treatment. Among a variety of non-surgical anti-aging treatments, Botox continues to be one of the most popular solutions worldwide. The treatment was approved in 2002 by the FDA for the reduction of frown lines from the face.
Since then it has been widely used by medical clinic treatment providers with highly safe and satisfactory results. It is, however, important that Botox treatment should be received only at a qualified and reputed medical clinic to ensure desired outcomes. Patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond and surrounding communities have an opportunity to receive Botox injections at MBody.

How does it work?

Botox is produced from botulinum toxin, which is recognized as a highly powerful biological substance. Controlled volumes of this toxin are used in a Botox injectable to reduce the wrinkles and lines from the face. The treatment is designed to cause the overactive wrinkle-forming muscle on the face to relax, which allows the wrinkle to fade away temporarily. Very fine needles are used to inject the treatment directly into the targeted muscle.
The effect of Botox treatment can last for about three to six months till the muscle remains in a relaxed condition. Botox is also used for the reduction of crow’s feet around the eyes, lip enhancement and reduction of other facial lines and wrinkles. Modern Body Contouring and Laser Center is a state of the art medical clinic providing Botox and other non-invasive treatments to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond and surrounding communities.

Advantages

Botox treatment entirely avoids the need for any cuts or incisions, and achieves very significant anti-aging results for the face. Patients who are keen to avoid the typical risks or side effects that are associated with a surgical procedure may consider Botox as an effective non-surgical alternative. The success rate of the procedure is very high, scarring is non-existent, and results are highly desirable as long as the treatment is performed by an expert at a reputed medical clinic.
Botox treatment is largely free of pain and discomfort. The treatment provider will make use of a topical local anesthetic to keep the patient comfortable through the treatment. Affordability is another key benefit, particularly for people who are not keen to spend a substantial amount on an elective procedure that is not covered by health insurance.
Busy moms and working people prefer Botox treatment the most because of its obvious advantages. A single treatment session of Botox can be completed in less than one hour. No downtime is involved in most cases, and the patient is usually able to return to their everyday routine almost immediately. Some working people, in fact, make a Botox appointment during the lunch hour, and go back to work after receiving the treatment.

FDA Approval for Crow’s Feet

Botox received another boost when the treatment was approved by the FDA in 2013 for cosmetic reduction of crow’s feet around the eyes. More people now feel encouraged to take advantage of the benefits of Botox as a safe and conservative anti-aging procedure.
